I am really close to having a working system for the “Getting Things Done” system utilizing Evernot.
Here is a break down of how I have gotten to this point.
1: Read several books looking for the perfect solution (not found)
2: Searched internet for what other people said they liked
3: Researched Getting Things Done (GTD) as it seemed to be the most talked about.
4 (now): I’m finishing up reading the book Getting Things Done and also studying how to utilize the system with Evernote.
We are on day 4 of my attempt to embrace a solid time management system.
Read several books looking for the perfect solution (not found).
Searched internet for what other people said they liked.
Researched Getting Things Done (GTD) as it seemed to be the most talked about.
I’m finishing up reading the book Getting Things Done and also studying how to utilize the system with Evernote.
I am waist deep in “Getting Things Done by David Allen” and have decided I might as well give this system a try.
I am only halfway through the book, but have done some searching online for resources to make my introduction to this system easier.
Here are 6 links that I have found useful in my attempt at learning this time management system.
I hope to be “Getting Things Done” starting next week. I have a feeling I am going to end up modifying the system to fit my personality and mind set. I will keep you all updated on what the final outcome of all this is.
Here are the links:
You may not believe this, but I have a hard time dealing with Time Management.
I know what your thinking, “I don’t believe it Jason, you post so randomly and without warning, I assumed you had it all together.”
The reality is I’m a procrastinator and jump around from project to project through out the day and sometimes throughout the hour.
I have an un-diagnosed case of adult ADD, live in a chaotic environment (I’m currently watching my 3 month old while writing this), and get a weird enjoyment out of the feeling of urgency.
With my hope to update this blog once or twice a week, update the jasonloveslife.com blog every week day, and continue working on my niche site, I realize I need to come up with a better time management system.
Last night I read:
I have to be honest with you guys; I’m a procrastinator. It is a mix of my ADD, obsessive compulsive tendencies, and what some call chaos addiction.
In other words, I am terrible at time management.
To get prepared for my goal of writing an article every weekday for this blog I’ve decided I need to work on a time management system that works for me.
This week I read:
Neither of these two books really resonated with me as perfect solutions.
While continuing to search online for the best system for myself, I stumbled upon:
It is 2:00 am on a Tuesday Morning. Working on finishing the Hillary animation I started over a year ago. It was a bizarre project to begin with due to the fact that I had no idea how to use flash. Now I do, but it is still a long and slow process. With school and work at the Rehab center it is hard to stay focus on getting anything done.
My goal is to finish it and have it published on 03.10.10. Being that today is 03.09.10; I do not have much time. On the 10th I have to give a presentation and on the 11th I have to take a final exam. If I really push it, I can get something out by then.
